Nonfiction November: New to My TBR






Hooray, Nonfiction November is here! Nonfiction November is a month-long celebration of everything nonfiction. Each week, we’ll have a different prompt and a different host looking at different ideas about reading and loving nonfiction.



Week 5 (Nov. 26 to Nov. 30)
New to my TBR (Hosted by Katie at Doing Dewey)

It’s been a month full of amazing nonfiction books!

  3. Ahhhh so many good books and no time to read them, especially since I spend so much time reading book blogs and Litsy instead of actually reading. But thanks for adding another handful of books to my Mt. TBR!

  4. Wow, you have an impressive month! I got Becoming, by Michelle Obama. I have seen others I will enjoy, but I'm not participating in the challenge, so I'll take my time.

    Enjoy yours!

    Thanks for visiting my blog.
